Social Impact, Ethics, and Practice in Abrahamic Finance
DescriptionAbrahamic finance, rooted in the ethical and moral principles of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, offers a value-based approach to economic activity that prioritizes social justice and fairness. Guided by religious doctrines that emphasize responsibility and prohibit exploitative practices, it seeks to align financial systems with moral accountability. In practice, Abrahamic finance addresses pressing social concerns such as poverty and ethical investment while challenging conventional profit-driven models. Exploring its social impact, ethics, and applications reveals how faith-inspired financial systems can create more equitable and socially conscious economic structures in a globalized world. Social Impact, Ethics, and Practice in Abrahamic Finance explores the social, ethical, and practical aspects of Abrahamic Finance. This book aims to start a movement of Abrahamic finance around the world. Covering topics such as finance, religion, and law, this book is an excellent resource for Faith-based finance experts and practitioners, conventional finance practitioners, students, and professors, academics, government officials, religious figures and practitioners, and people interested in alternative and faith-based finance development and practice.
